Nanimarquina’s Oblique rug collection, designed by Matthew Hilton, emphasizes simplicity with sober graphics and colors that evoke the earth.
For the design of this collection, Hilton juxtaposed oblique figures in different positions, resulting in a geometrical finesse that adds monochromatic volumes to its surroundings.
Oblique is handwoven with 100 percent Afghan wool. The different heights have been achieved by mixing two techniques: hand knotted and sumak, to create two overlapping pieces with different pile heights, ultimately creating four rugs with four different patterns. Depending on their arrangement in the space, the pieces can complement very different furniture layouts.
The rugs’ palette comes in warm, powdery tones, including pink, beige, earth and ochre; earthy colors that naturally harmonize, creating bright, fresh and contemporary spaces.
